After an unprecedented six weeks already in the chart, in their seventh week, MGMT ascend to the top spot with When You Die, the second single and first charter from long-awaited comeback album Little Dark Age. It's the first song on my charts to hang about so long before peaking, as well as the first track to rise to #1 after more than four charting weeks. The track additionally becomes the second, or possibly third unexpected #1 in a row in my charts as like Ride and Eat the Rich before it, a late surge saw it steam past tracks I expected the previous week to come out on top. Both those tracks are still hanging in there this week; Eat the Rich slips to #2 and Ride all the way down to #19 in its sixth charting week. Paloma and Troye hang on in the top 5 and are joined by Ryan Riback and Iselin's shimmering Do You Care which ascends from last week's #8.

Not much change in the top 10 this week; Liam and Rita squeak back in after a week off, while Kimbra's Human ascends from #19 to become her second top ten of the year and third total along with 2015's Teen Heat. Highest new entry this week comes for a second week in a row at #16, this time it's Chvrches' return with the pop punk influenced Get Out. Other brand newies this week come from Pink soundalike Rhys, Hazers, London Grammar, Allie X, Aron, Gun, G-Eazy, Punctual and Fabienne, The Him, Future Islands, Doja Cat, and a belated entry for Post Malone with a track that I didn't feel around Christmastime at all, but sounds way better in February. Somehow.

New entries will be linked a bit later on in the week to save you hunting for them, so check back to see those, and feel free to peek at my (linked) weekly playlists in the meantime.
